>Description:
A number of system facilities, especially network ones, allow a different
program to be run by the rc scripts by using a NAME_program setting in the
/etc/rc.conf. This is not available for syslogd, and we use a different
syslogd than the stock FreeBSD one. Since it is important for syslogd to
start before other programs, using a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/syslogd.sh script
isn't really an option.
I propse a syslogd_program setting in rc.conf to select which syslogd
to be started.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to have a different syslogd run on boot.
>Fix:
Here are patches to to /etc/rc and /etc/defaults/rc.conf to "solve"
